There's a lot of alcohol and drug use in Berlin, but there are not vast open air drug markets like Kensington in Philadelphia or Skid Row in San Francisco.

(Don't totally misunderstand - they're still some of the least safe places in Berlin, but nothing like Kensington - which in turn also not as bad as pearl-clutchers would have you believe.)
